i emailed bulletproof auto a while back and they told me genuine c-one kits are made of fiber glass also... not sure if this is true or if the sales got it wrong... but if it is, i'd assume c-one fg is a lot higher quality than say vis?

so, i was wondering, how do these fiber glass compare to the vis zyclone kit? do they still crack and become almost glass-like in the winter? or are they able to flex and not crack when you hit something?

also, how do they compare to polyeurthane kits like the gt-4 bumper?

thanks

nah. Fiber glass will crack wayyyy b4 poly. Poly is super bendable. Theres an add in alot of performance magazines showing 2 guys twisting a front bumper almost 540 degrees without it cracking or showing any stress. If u try and twist a fiberglass bumper no matter who makes it, it will crack and probably only be able 2 flex it 10 degrees. My side skirts i bought off Melissa were like rocks cuz they were pure fiberglass. No flex in them what so ever.
